Description of Car Builder
Car Builder is, as you may have guessed, a car design game. Created by 'Optimum Resource, Inc.,' a company with a rather reputable-sounding name, this game excels in giving the user control over the vehicle design process. A menu-driven interface allows even the very young to successfully manipulate the design of the car. Many different variations of engine placement, brake size and type, and even steering mechanism give the user the control to create their ideal car.
Car nuts will appreciate the details provided, such as the ability to aerodynamically sculpt the car, while those not fascinated by cars may find interest in the automated track testing feature. Refining your designs is accomplished by visiting the testing facility. In the facility you can run both track and wind tunnel tests, which are graphically presented with comments on the results.
As an educational tool, this game is excellent. Accompanied by an instructor who knows what he or she is talking about, a child can learn quite a lot about cars. This game was purchased for me as a five-year-old as a way to channel my interest in cars into a constructive environment. I obviously enjoyed it, preserving it through many disks, then many hard drives, and now I can share it with you. Give it a try. It is a small, simple, and fun game in a unique genre.
Though its chunky CGA graphics are a bit dated, it still shines with gameplay a-plenty. I've included some 'recent' cars of my own, so that you may see what can be done with the game. Enjoy!
Note: the developer Optimum Resources is still very much alive, and updating new versions of Car Builder to boot! Check out the official game site for the most recent version you can buy :) [thanks to Marc J. for the info]

How do you save your designs? It tells me the disk is full and I don't know what directory to change to.

*REVIEW*
You add a part you don’t know anything about and test your vehicle on the road or in the wind tunnel, rinse and repeat. Your enjoyment will pend solely on how much you can enjoy doing that and checking the wind resistance and aerodynamics of crude shapes because we’re all 12 at heart. If this doesn’t sound like something you’d enjoy then avoid Car Builder like you’d avoid calling Mike Tyson a chud.

I remember playing this game in 7th Grade in my computer class. We thought this game was awesome!!! Glad I found it. Now time for a little nostalgia.

Crazy you have this is so old, my god . . . nostalgic memory would give this a 5/5 as it was fun to play in middle school. Got to like the wind tunnel sequence.

Are you for real? Unzip the file with a archive decompressing program such as winzip, winrar, or 7zip. There IS a program file in this archive, just unzip it before you try to play it.

Used DOS Box, 0.74, worked fine. Thanks, been looking for this for a while but for Apple IIe, didn't think there was a PC version until AutoDuel didn't work on VirtualApple.
JFS32011-03-020 point DOS version
Yes it does work I have it running on Windows 7 using D-Fend Reloaded. it is a dos emulator that lets you play our old dos games in the newer versions of windows. Just google search 'D-Fend Reloaded'

Remember; don’t slip up! Have fun!
You are the green car. Your mission is to win the race and unlock the next tracks. Then you can go on to test your skills in even more demanding situations! OK, race-time! Now, you really are on thin ice – your competitors have a bad attitude towards you and will do anything to knock you out of the race! You need to beat them to the finish line by any means necessary! You can try and block or push them out of the way if you like - anything goes in this extreme ice race. Be warned; the corners are treacherous - you need to take them with caution and then blast down the straights to make time! There are 6 inhospitable and challenging tracks to get through. This icy winter adventure is endless hours of driving fun! Good luck!
How to Play: Use the arrow keys on your computer keyboard to drive the car: (UP) Forward, (DOWN) Slow/Reverse, (LEFT) Steer Left, (RIGHT) Steer Right. You can see: your place in the race - the lap you are on - your lap time - and a map of where you and your competitors are - on the left hand side of the game screen. The rev-counter (RPM gauge) in the bottom right corner of the game screen shows you when you are doing minimum to maximum speed. Watch those corners!
